CHRISTMAS SHOE BOX APPEAL
After an epic Tuesday morning packing boxes, we have managed to fill 85 shoeboxes to send overseas for the Christmas Appeal smashing last year's total of around 60. We had a further large box full of items (as we ran out of shoeboxes) which will also go to the warehouse in Melbourne and be used as gifts. Thank you to all the families who contributed to the appeal.

This week the Preps became proud parents of 35 gorgeous chickens. We are learning about living and non living things. We have waited patiently for 21 days to watch our chickens hatch in our incubator. A big thank you to the Hutchinson family for donating the eggs. We have a lot of excited children!
